Notes
**You can substitute sugar with salt as per taste.
*If you don’t have sticky rice flour you can follow this process. Soak the sticky rice in water for 20-30 mins. Drain off the water and dry the rice in the sun for sometime (not required to dry off completely). Now ground the rice in a grinder. It will be little grainy. Or if you have a rice mill near your area you can get the rice powdered from the rice mill.
*Make sure the thickness is medium or else it won’t puff up. You can use ghee for frying it which is also very tasty as well.
